Alignment Project Planning Team Minutes - April 06, 2017

Community Libraries Report

Chris shared possible staffing models for the Community Libraries group which will include Choctaw.  

Library Alignment Preparations

Julie and Jessica shared the results of the survey of libraries to identify preparations for the alignment including local training, local experience opportunities, and priority needs for system-wide training.  The results will be reviewed to identify a short list of best practices.

Staff Alignment Mapping Update

After assessing the two surveys and org charts submitted by the library managers Kay provided an update by the numbers:

369     Public Services and Outreach employees need to be mapped

362     Employees completed the survey or were pre-mapped

224     Employees pre-mapped to their one choice

138     Employees had up to 4 preferences selected.  Of those:

55         Employees’ first preference was unique and at their location

82         Employees’ first preference required additional information.  Those include:

Employees whose first preference was not at their location

Duplicate preferences for the same position at the same location

Proposal drafts

The group discussed that there was minimal feedback from the draft proposals.  We can go ahead and move forward with the proposals as a starting place for next steps including organizational charts and ideas for services.
